Peaches, Pie, Guinness, Oh My!

Typically for St. Paddy's day, one of us will make a dark chocolate Guinness cake with cream cheese icing, a tried and true recipe from one of our Domestic Goddesses, Nigella Lawson. This year, with Stephanie in charge of desserts, we opted for something a little different: Key Lime Pie. We grew up as Georgia …

Bells & Whistles

The more crystals and bells in my house, the better. I can hear the crystals ring like bells and see the bells' jingle flitter like light refracting off the crystals. It brings so much joy and happiness to my home. In what felt like an intuitive decision, I hung a strand of bells on my …

The group consists of mostly working women (and yes, that includes full-time mamas!), so when we have a few minutes to slip away into another …

Book Love: Folk Art Techniques

My personal artistic style is messy, dreamy, and intuitive. I very rarely sketch out ideas or work with a final image in mind. This might be why I'm compelled to buy every art-technique book out there, because the process is so foreign and fascinating. I LOVE folk art, and folk design, from all regions of …

Everything is Coming Up Bagel Salt!

Avocado toast. Put it on! Fried egg sandwich? Add it! Roasted vegetables? Sprinkle that stuff all over the place. I'm talkin', Fishs Eddy's Everything Bagel Salt.
